Adobo, Adobo, Adobo, by now you probably know how much of a staple viand Adobo is among Filipino households. This dish can truly last a long time in the fridge, hence it could definitely feed your family for days. On top of that, this dish is well-loved by Filipinos as its blend of salty and sweet notes are a wonderful pairing to, you got it, steamed white rice. Indeed, this dish is definitely one you could rely on when you have been craving for a classic, comforting, and filling eat.
As much as we love the straightforward Adobo such as our Pork Adobo and Adobong Pusit recipes, we can’t help but try different versions of this dish from time to time as well, just like our Chicken Adobo recipe which we pan-fried and our Chicken Adobo sa Gata. Seeing how delicious gata is with Adobo, we have then decided to try it one more time on on another protein—pork this time.
Pork Adobo sa Gata is a hit-two-birds-with-one-stone kind of dish as it more than just satisfied our cravings for that sweet and salty mishmash of flavors that only Adobo can deliver, plus that milky and coconutty goodness only a gata can pull off! Truly, a luscious dish that had us drooling even though we are still cooking it. Its aroma was just heavenly and it had us even more excited to eat it!
And so, if you have been salivating for adobo and gata but don’t have the time to make two dishes, then we suggest throwing on some gata to your Adobo, just like we did. Worried you won’t get the flavors, right? Well, what do yiu think are we here for? Of course, we got your back! Just make sure you have the ingredients needed all prepped and ready, and then follow our step-by-step procedure down below.
